Before: Alba laying some rumours to rest: “Look--there are 2 good reasons for me to fight kate Bosworth instead of Jordana Brewster at this time. One, I’ve always admired Kate’s style--I think this is a great fight for the fans. Two” money. You know and I know that Jessica Alba/Kate Bosworth is a great blonde/brunette match up--the promoters wanted it, BSE wanted it--that’s life. If Jordana Brewster thinks the world owes her something, she needs to find another sport.” Alba in royal blue bandeau bikini top, neon green bottoms--Bosworth in splash print bikini top, navy bikini bottoms.

During R1: Alba leggy along the perimeter--Bosworth having no trouble cutting down the ring, bringing the fight to Jessica, Kate: right hand at right cheek, left hand low--she’s biting hooks, backhanding jabs, using upper body movement for defense on flat feet. Alba patted down in the tummy, stroked along her ribs, puzzled early at her inability to outpace her foe. Down the stretch, Jessica retreating to the ropes once again, has Bosworth walking in: licking right hand off the hip, swiping left--Alba skips away right as Kate’s legs give way--blonde staggered, reeling Kate as jess steals the round.

R2: Jessica taking the initiative more, standing her ground, trading set piece jabs with Bosworth midring, Girls rotating clockwise, left hands low and loose, right hands taoed to cheeks--they’re stroking away at one another, jabbing each other to belly. Alba with better distance judgment, able to get the better of the boxing, supple with her upper body as she slips the Bosworth jab for the most part.

R3: More boxing midring--two cobras swaying in front of each other, spitting out leather. Bosworth the better girl this round, getting good spank off Alba’s face with a meanspirited stick from stomach level, dropping down to jab the chest, then back up top in pretty sequences, Jessica with her weight on her back foot, closing up her stance, leaning away from Bosworth to shoulder-roll the incoming.

R4: Shutout Kate Bosworth, Katie’s legs up to the task of cutting Jessica off, hounding her to corners--Alba unable to turn her foe’s flanks. Tough body punching from Kate as she commits to Alba’s midriff full bore: fists bouncing off stubborn flesh as Bosworth puts rights and lefts together. Jessica tries to hook her way out of trouble--Kate beating her to locks on the jaw, slumping the brunette into the ropes, Bos finishing up grand on her girl’s plump jugs--jagged little right uppercuts out of the closed stance--just turning the punch up and in as Alba suffers to the bell.

R5: Spirited two-way spank age throughout the first two minutes--neither girl backing off--Jessica going to her power punching mode: guard high, trying to crowd in, block punches and answer with lanky uppercuts from either mitt. Bosworth giving as good as she gets, especially in the waist as she dips low, comes up with whippy hook-work on the tummy. Dpwn the stretch, Alba looks like she’s had enough, steps out and NAILS Bosworth that sneaky walk-away hook. Crazy-legs Kate wobbles to the ropes hurt--Jessica bouncing in with licking abuse from both guns--lashing beat down to the bell as Kate covers up in swoon.

R6: Ballistic power punching from Jessica Alba, She’s romaing right or left, feinting beautifully with her shoulders then lunging in, catching Kate with rising, majestic whip-hooks or sweeping right hands high on the head. Bosworth staggered time and again, on her heels--staring and dazed with gloves weak at her mouth. Alba just darting in and out, taking Kate apart--dramatic arcing blows drawing oohs and aahs from a delighted audience. Kate’s firm legs holding her up, but she’s badly rocked this round, busted up, taking sustained, shellacking punishment as Alba romps to a devastating shutout.

R7: Power punching parade continues. Kate trying to close up and work the midriff--Alba stepping out, constantly swatting that walk-away hook across the chops, leaning in to drag that slashing right hand to the left eye. Jessica coming in strong down the stretch in her high guard, walking through Bosworth leather to set up close and dig up into blonde torso with rigid uppercuts. Katie sprawled sick at the topes--Alba’s fists biting into her chest and face are just dismantling this kid.

R8: Jessica feints in, steps out, flicks the backhand jab off her hip then slices home a vicious overhand right, catching Bosworth clean and once again putting the blonde on hurt alert. Kate swooning, trying to regroup--Alba steps around the right shoulder, slings the right up underneath to plop heavy in the belly--Bosworth stumbling backward as Jessica hops, bounces blow off her girls’ head and guard. Kate hits ropes in disarray--Jessica squares up to lather away--long-armed walloping ensues--Katie broken down, bending forward, helpless as fists bash across her back, and BOSWORTH’S DOWN! Kate hugging her body, rocking gently on her haunches, face stunned and windblown--it’s over. Demonstrative KO8 Jessica Alba.

After: Alba giddy with triumph--she hands Kate her second consecutive KO, but more importantly,  heaps on a beating that just might have ruined this promising blonde youngster. Jessica can’t get enough: breezy walk of shame as she guides a badly battered Kate around the ring--finest slugging performance of Alba’s career something to celebrate evidently. “Kate can really box,” says a magnanimous Jessi in post fight, “so I switched up, took it to her, and she couldn’t handle it. Why the lengthy beating? Like I always says--I like to dress ‘em up before I take ‘em out!”
